Mike'sXS vs Yamaha oil seals

Supposedly, the seals from Mike's are the same brand (ARS) as the originals. I've used them without any problems. The only one that sometimes causes grief is the "improved" triple lip camshaft seal. That seal must be installed as deep as possible into the points/advance housings for the seal lips to get onto the cam end. They added the extra lips on the outside of the seal so sometimes they don't make it to the cam stub. I'm not sure if the Yamaha seal is any better now either. It may have been updated and "improved" too.

The only seal / gasket that concerns me is the gasket for the points housings to head. If you use a gasket that is thicker than stock, it moves the points housing out and that carries the PAMCO sensor with it and it can therefore cause interference between the PAMCO PC board and the PAMCO rotor.

Thanks for pointing that out, Pete. If need be, I can cut one of those out from thinner gasket material. That and a dab of Yamabond4.....

BTW...where are you in SC?

Having all of my family on my Dad's side living in SC, I can tell you from the visits I have taken, it's not Pickens.
